Dubois' trainer says Usyk conned world

The trainer of British heavyweight Daniel Dubois accused Oleksandr Usyk of “conning the boxing world” at a press conference on Tuesday before their undisputed title fight in July.

The undefeated Usyk was floored in the fifth round of the August 2023 fight in Poland by Dubois with a shot that was deemed a low blow before the Ukrainian claimed a ninth-round stoppage.

Dubois’ trainer Don Charles accused Usyk of being hurt by a legal body shot and said the British fighter should have won the encounter.

The two men will meet for a second time on July 19 at Wembley Stadium, this time for all four world titles, as Usyk bids to become a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion.
